“Latino’s and communities of color need to break the silence that is culturally imbedded and societal placed. We need to go back to our religious roots to find a healing and a sense of self worth. This work helps the process of moving forward.”
--Pete Mejia, Trainer

“Latinos y comunidades de color necesitan romper el silencio que esta culturalmente implantado.  Tenemos que regresar a nuestras raíces religiosas para encontrar sanidad y un buen sentido de si mismo.  Este trabajo ayuda el proceso de seguir hacia delante.
Pete Mejia, Entrenador
